2020 I did 87 hours of live streaming, 2021 already 179 hours, and this year 206 hours (that's 8 1/2 full days!). The focus in 2022 was on the book 'An Introduction to Statistical Learning' by James, Witten, Hastie, and Tibshirani (https://www.statlearning.com), which we have almost finished. 2/6

Aside from standard regression type modeling (i.e., linear and logistic regression), the book covered techniques such as the k-nearest neighbor classifier, linear and quadratic discriminant analysis, the naive Bayes classifier, cross-validation and bootstrapping, model selection via subset methods, ridge regression, the Lasso, principal component regression, 3/6

partial least squares, polynomial regression, regression splines, local regression, generalized additive models, tree-based methods such as regression and classification trees, bagging, boosting, random forests, Bayesian additive regression trees, support vector classifiers/machines, single and multilayer neural networks, and convolutional and recurrent neural networks. 4/6
